Comment (by valentecaio):
Do you think it would be better to be able to show both addresses?
By now, the buffer used has space for this output format:
{{{
"$FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF~xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx at
[ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:255.255.255.255]"
}}}
But I think the functions only return strings in one of the following
formats (please confirm this if you know):
{{{
"$FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF~xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx at
ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff"
or
"$FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF~xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx at
255.255.255.255"
}}}
We could add a separator and show both addresses, something like
(increasing the buffer size by 2):
{{{
"$FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF~xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx at
[ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff | 255.255.255.255]"
}}}
And we could let the caller decide what address it want as output (only
IPv4, only IPv6 or both), letting "only IPv4" as default.
What do you think about this?
